On the day of Guangping Hou's birthday, it snowed in the middle of the night and was shrouded in clouds and fog. Even after several days, everything in Xijing was covered with snow.
Ever since Zhaohua became suspicious of Marquis Guangping, she no longer drank the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Instead, she secretly looked for opportunities to pour the medicine into the bonsai.
After a few days, Zhaohua's spirit really improved.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching, Zhu Scarlett must be busy with the upcoming Laba Banquet, and it is time for her to go to the palace.
Before leaving the house, Zhaohua remained calm and pretended to be in low spirits. Even when he got into the sedan chair, he had to be carefully supported.
Marquis Guangping asked hypocritically: "The princess still looks very bad today. Do you really want to insist on entering the palace?"
Zhaohua covered his face with his handkerchief and coughed a few times: "What if I'm not feeling well anymore? A few days ago, for your birthday party, neither Your Majesty nor the Empress showed up to honor me. I think the Empress is still angry with me. I take it for granted. Entering the palace to ask for an audience can help you ahem... pave the way for your future."
Marquis Guangping looked touched: "The princess treats me very well."
Zhaohua smiled, lowered the curtain, and the carriage slowly drove out of the house.
When the carriage completely disappeared from sight, Marquis Guangping stood up straight, with his hands behind his back. The warmth on his face was gone, and he was completely different from the affectionate-looking Prince Consort in Da Qin just now.
The palace doctor broke into a cold sweat and walked behind him with small steps: "Now that the princess is entering the palace, if those two people see that she is abnormal, they will inevitably call the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Then the Marquis will not worry..."
The Marquis of Guangping looked happy: "What are you worried about? She is so sick that she is willing to go to the palace to please Your Majesty and the Empress for the sake of my future. Even if it is found out that there is something wrong with her, she will never suspect me. "
Even if she had no basis for suspecting him, how much could she do to him?
Marquis Guangping quickly walked to the stable in the backyard and told the people below: "If the princess comes back, tell her that I went out to the hunting ground for winter hunting with Lu Kun and others, and will come back later."
After saying that, he galloped away, but not in the direction of the hunting ground.
He relaxed his vigilance and naturally did not notice Yuan Haoyu who was following him secretly.
When they arrived at Zhou Caiwei's courtyard, Zhou Caiwei opened the door to greet her personally.
Today she wore a loose pink chest-length undershirt and a thick winter jacket. Her whole person was charming and bright, adding a touch of bright color to the dim sky and alleys.
When Marquis Guangping saw her, he impatiently picked her up and kissed her white collarbone while taking her into the hospital: "You are already a mother, how can you still be so beautiful? Be careful of the cold." Hold my son."
Zhou Caiwei said coquettishly: "If I were not beautiful, how could the Marquis be willing to have children with me?"
The two of them walked all the way to the house, and Shang immediately took out a hot towel to wipe the sweat of Marquis Guangping.
Marquis Guangping took the hot towel from Shang's hand, looked at her a few more times, and asked, "How is Miss Zhou doing lately?"
Mrs. Shang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, and replied: "Back to Lord Marquis, the doctor said that Miss Zhou's fetal condition is stable, and both mother and child are healthy. Lin'er will be safely born in another seven months."
The Marquis of Guangping casually rewarded her with a piece of silver: "Okay, I can rest assured that Miss Zhou's fetus will be taken care of by you. No one in the house has discovered your whereabouts during this period, right?"
Shang categorically said: "I dare to use my life as a guarantee, absolutely not."
Yuan Haoyu listened to every word spoken by the people in the room.
From his hidden angle, he could just see the big hand of Marquis Guangping placed on Zhou Caiwei's belly.
Unexpectedly, the wet nurse who was expelled from the princess's palace suddenly changed her identity and was recruited by Guangping Marquis to be his personal servant!
And the foreign girl has an unattractive and charming look, her whole body is as soft as a bone, and she knows how to stick to the body of Marquis Guangping.
If several people in the house were executed on the spot now, would Zhaohua blame him for killing them first and then punishing them?
Yuan Haoyu silently pressed the handle of the knife, with veins appearing on the back of his hand. Why would Zhaohua love such a heartless and heartless person to the point of death?
…
Changle Palace.
In a few days, the reconstruction of the new Taixue would be completed. Zhu Ya had a rare free time and finally had the opportunity to have a chat with her old master.
Yan Xiu followed over with a map of Xintai Academy, and sat side by side with Zhu Sijia, listening intently as Zhu Ya introduced the various branches of Xintai Academy to the two of them.
Zhu Ya pointed to one of them and said: "Your Majesty, please see, the biggest difference between the new Taixue and the old Taixue is the subjects and branches. The old Taixue only teaches classics, while the new Taixue In the Institute of Science and Engineering, I will personally impart engineering knowledge."
Zhu Sijia became interested: "What is engineering?"
Zhu Ya: "The various novel and eccentric achievements that I have previously shown to Your Majesty and the Empress can all be classified as engineering. The remaining schools will also teach medicine, calculation, calculation, agriculture, law, and business. And various subjects such as astronomy and military art. I am stupid and can only teach calculation and business in addition to engineering."
"The scale of the Imperial College will continue to grow. His Majesty has decreed to allocate a piece of land in Xijing to build a larger Imperial College. It will be able to accommodate at least 100,000 students. Aspiring people from all over the country and Qi can come forward If you come to study, women can also enter Imperial College."
Zhu Sijia suddenly realized: "Then Xin Taixue has provided all kinds of talents to the Qin Dynasty, not just those who can discuss politics in the court?"
Yan Xiu tilted his head to look at her: "Yes, I also listened to Lord Zhu's suggestion and decided to build a bigger Imperial Academy."
Three hundred and sixty rows, the top scholar in the row. If you want to govern a huge country, it is not enough to just pay attention to the court. A large number of talents who strive for excellence are needed everywhere.
If it were to be founded blindly according to the former Imperial College, although it would break the shackles of ordinary people's education, countless people would not be able to gain a foothold even if they read to death.
It is better to teach students according to their aptitude and perform their respective duties, which can not only create more official positions, but also fill various vacancies in Da Qin, killing two birds with one stone.
Zhu Sijia counted with her fingers: "This... build another one. Your Majesty, do you have so much money in the treasury?"
She was really careless. Even if Great Qin did not fight Beiliang, Yan Xiu would still have countless ways to waste people and money, not to mention his imperial mausoleum, which was still under repair, and the various types of water conservancy, city and other corvee work every year. Now he had to repair it again. An imperial college bigger than the Qin Palace——
It may not be possible within ten or twenty years.
He is not afraid of being scolded by others at all.
Yan Xiu smiled in disbelief and stretched out his hand to scratch her nose: "Idiot, when have I ever been short of money? Not to mention the savings in the past two years, the money I got a while ago is enough to build another one."
Zhu Sijia: "What did Da Qin sell some time ago?"
Yan Xiu: "It's not selling, it's collecting."
The group of ministers who entered the palace to catch monsters are still standing in the court unharmed. Yan Xiu exempted them from the death penalty, but also deducted their salaries for twenty years.
Anyway, this group of people all have ancestral property, and their families are big and their businesses are big, so they can’t survive even if their salary is deducted.
Several people were discussing the matter of Imperial College, when Xin'er came into the palace and reported: "Your Majesty and Concubine, the eldest princess wishes to see you."
